In "The Canterbury Tales," the Pardoner carries with him various holy relics that he claims have miraculous powers. These include a jar filled with pigs' bones, a brass cross set with a precious stone, and a glass jar with what he says is the Virgin Mary's veil. However, it is later revealed that these relics are fake, as the Pardoner is dishonest and manipulative.

It's strange because the Pardoner, as a corrupt and dishonest character, presents himself as holy and virtuous while trying to profit off fake relics. This juxtaposition reflects the Pardoner's hypocrisy and greed, making his attempt to sell relics contradictory and indicative of his fraudulent nature.
That quote is associated with the character Father Maxi from the animated TV show South Park. In the episode, Father Maxi tries to sell holy relics to the townspeople alongside certificates of absolution in a satirical commentary on the commercialization of religion.
